I was looking over at some of the femgen fics and stumbled across this. I really love how you gave a character who is often overlooked a voice. Very nice.

This is wonderful. I always wondered what happened to Meiling after the show ended and what would become of her and this answers that perfectly. Heartbreaking, of course, with the sense of futility that she's subject to, but it's brilliant to have Sakura save the day again as is her thing, instead of Meiling just running to Li. Really, really good =)

I love your Meiling voice, and I love that it was Sakura she went to for help. Female friendship, for the win.

And, um, I feel a little odd pointing this out in a fic several years old, but you have a broken italics tag in the first section.
